The near approach of another windy
message from Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent of the United States, recalls the
fact that the democratic party has been
in power nearly three years. Three
years of doing nothing but turning re-
publicans out and putting democrats
in. No policy no reforms, no nothing
but spoils. The evils of republican rule
intensified, Its good features abandoned.
Money piling up il the treasury and an
administration unable to point out a
course that the democratic party can
follow. Hasn't the party of reform
